What is reclaimed brick?

Answer 1

Reclaimed bricks are bricks that are rescued from old buildings and cleaned up. Their edges are typically worn and irregular and they may have remnants of mortar due to their original use. Good quality reclaimed bricks only require 2 workable sides, 1 bond and 1 stretch. Many will have fine creases, characteristic folds and variations in colour that typify old brickwork. It is this combination, which many feel gives "Reclaims" a charm and character all of their own.
